Camp Damascus is the world's most effective gay conversion camp.

With an Introduction and Notes by Peter Merchant, Canterbury
Christchurch University College The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a
powerful and sometimes violent novel of expectation, love,
oppression, sin, religion and betrayal. It portrays the
disintegration of the marriage of Helen Huntingdon, the mysterious
'tenant' of the title, and her dissolute, alcoholic husband.
Defying convention, Helen leaves her husband to protect their young
son from his father's influence, and earns her own living as an
artist. Whilst in hiding at Wildfell Hall, she encounters Gilbert
Markham, who falls in love with her. On its first publication in
1848, Anne Bronte's second novel was criticised for being 'coarse'
and 'brutal'. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall challenges the social
conventions of the early nineteenth century in a strong defence of
women's rights in the face of psychological abuse from their
husbands. Anne Bronte's style is bold, naturalistic and passionate,
and this novel, which her sister Charlotte considered 'an entire
mistake', has earned Anne a position in English literature in her
own right, not just as the youngest member of the Bronte family.
This newly reset text is taken from a copy of the 1848 second
edition in the Library of the Bronte Parsonage Museum and has been
edited to correct known errors in that edition.
Investigator Lacy Stoltz follows the trail of a serial killer, and closes in on a shocking suspect—a sitting judge—in “one of the best crime reads of the year.… Bristling with high-tech detail and shivering with suspense…. Worth staying up all night to finish” (Wall Street Journal).
In The Whistler, Lacy Stoltz investigated a corrupt judge who was taking millions in bribes from a crime syndicate. She put the criminals away, but only after being attacked and nearly killed. Three years later, and approaching forty, she is tired of her work for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct and ready for a change.
Then she meets a mysterious woman who is so frightened she uses a number of aliases. Jeri Crosby’s father was murdered twenty years earlier in a case that remains unsolved and that has grown stone cold. But Jeri has a suspect whom she has become obsessed with and has stalked for two decades. Along the way, she has discovered other victims. Suspicions are easy enough, but proof seems impossible. The man is brilliant, patient, and always one step ahead of law enforcement. He is the most cunning of all serial killers. He knows forensics, police procedure, and most important: he knows the law.
He is a judge, in Florida—under Lacy’s jurisdiction. He has a list, with the names of his victims and targets, all unsuspecting people unlucky enough to have crossed his path and wronged him in some way. How can Lacy pursue him, without becoming the next name on his list?
The Judge’s List is by any measure John Grisham’s most surprising, chilling novel yet.

Introduction and Notes by Norman Vance, Professor of English,
University of Sussex. Far from the Madding Crowd is perhaps the
most pastoral of Hardy's Wessex novels. It tells the story of the
young farmer Gabriel Oak and his love for and pursuit of the
elusive Bathsheba Everdene, whose wayward nature leads her to both
tragedy and true love. It tells of the dashing Sergeant Troy whose
rakish philosophy of life was '...the past was yesterday; never,
the day after', and lastly, of the introverted and reclusive
gentleman farmer, Mr Boldwood, whose love fills him with '...a
fearful sense of exposure', when he first sets eyes on Bathsheba.
The background of this tale is the Wessex countryside in all its
moods, contriving to make it one of the most English of great
English novels.
